We were made to wait 1 hour at the lobby (with Mosquitos and all) while waiting for the reception staff to settle some administrative matters. They could have asked us to rest at one of the rooms (which was already confirmed) instead of taking one hour to talk about the pricing of the room with their head office. Guess what?... More

This hotel is very comfortable and the food is great although it does get repetitive after a while. We stayed for 3 weeks and thought we could use this hotel as a base so we could travel about, but unfortunately the railway was closed and the buses were mobbed so the tuk tuk drivers put up their prices. Be warned... More

We stayed at the Surf from 9th - 12th Sep 2011. The hotel has just gone thru a total renovation and we were mighty impressed with it. The rooms are all beach facing and the bathrooms are excellent. We booked bed & breaky and food was good. MEals at The Surf & most properties around the area are expensive, so... More

After the refurbishment based on a news paper ad visited the place. It is a great place for total relaxation. All rooms facing the beach but without being crowded and with very friendly staff it was a great stay. More

Arrived at The Surf and were absolutely amazed. Had read some rather dodgy reviews but the recent refurbishment is of such a high standard, can honestly say it's the best hotel we've ever stayed in. Not very busy, as out of season, but the staff can't do enough for you, everyone was incredibly polite and helpful. The rooms all have... More
